Hokiehaven.com has continued to track Virginia Beach (Va.) Cox four-star defensive end Jordan Williams (6-4, 260). Williams, as you know, is the No. 5 strongside end recruit in the nation and is rated 156th overall regardless of position nationally according to Rivals.com.
Over the last two weeks Williams has visited the campuses of Clemson and UVA. And several weeks ago he revealed a shortlist that included Virginia Tech, Clemson, Tennessee, UVA and Ohio State.
At this time we believe Clemson and UVA are ahead with Clemson holding a slight edge. Tennessee also remains under heavy consideration. We also know that Williams and VT have continued to communicate so for that reason we have continued to track his recruitment. And for the record, since revealing his top five, Williams has not in any way ruled out any of his finalists.
Williams told our officially licensed Clemson Web site - Tigerillustrated.com - last night that he will now render a decision on a school August 6. He also has just one visit left; Clemson. That's likely to occur the third Saturday in July. The Tigers also lost one of their top DE targets to Florida over the weekend, four-star Zach Carter of Tampa.
We will update everyone in the coming days/weeks if there are any new developments here in the way of VT, particularly with regard to a potential visit to Blacksburg. We think that would be necessary in order for VT to climb back into the forefront of his pecking order.
